7.27 EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES ACADEMIC POLICY
|
|
The Board recognizes the value of a program of extracurricular activities for students in grades 7-12 as an integral part of the total school experience for the students of the District and for the community. However, student participation in extracurricular activities is a privilege and not a right.
For the purpose of this policy, "Extracurricular Activities" refers to a pupil activity program that a school or the District sponsors, and is under the supervision of a coach/advisor/and/or director. "Extracurricular activities" do not include activities in the District's graded course of study.
As a condition for the privilege of participating in extracurricular activities, a student must have attained a minimum grade point average of 1.3, received a passing grade in a minimum of five one-credit courses or the equivalent, and not received a failing grade in any course in the previous grade period.
An exception may be made by the principal if the student has been participating in an intervention program and has shown satisfactory progress toward achieving the minimum grade point average.
In addition, students participating in any program regulated by the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) must also comply with any eligibility regulations and bylaws established by the OHSAA.
If a student's individualized education program (IEP) indicates that an exemption from this policy would be appropriate, such eligibility requirements shall be adjusted accordingly for the student. However, the OHSAA mandates may not be exempted by an IEP. |
